Womble Bond Dickinson is expanding in San Francisco with the addition of Simmonds & Narita, a five-lawyer consumer financial services litigation boutique.

The team, led by partners Tomio Narita and Jeffrey Topor, joined Womble Bond on July 1. It includes counsels Leanne Yu, Nathan Searles and Dominic Luca, and one paralegal. The boutique’s other name partner, Michael Simmonds, retired in 2020.
